“…Although their activities are not that many, the Kawali club has contributed to increasing the awareness, knowledge, and skill of their peers in Masalembu High School regarding the conservation of yellow-crested cockatoos. This result is linear with Neiman and Ades (2014), who stated that significant change in motivation, attitude and behavior towards conservation would occur when students join, learn, practice and get involved in conservation activities. Furthermore, Ardoin et al (2020) explained all those attitudes would be developed when students participate and collaborate with conservation scientists, managers, and organizations, especially those focusing on local problems and dimensions.…”

Abstract. Ihsannudin, Antriyandarti E. 2022. Stakeholder participation in conservation of yellow-crested cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea abbotti) and its habitat in Masakambing Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 3950-3959. The yellow-crested cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea abbotti, Oberholser 1917) is found only on Masakambing Island, Indonesia. Its conservation efforts are now facing hardship due to massive exploitation of their habitat, and stakeholder contribution is essential. The study was conducted on Masakambing Island using a sequential exploratory mixed method design. The results show that based on a ladder of participation, central government, local government, and non-government organization (NGO) are at the second top of the ladder (co-learning), while the community group is at the lower level (cooperation) and the local community at the lowest (compliance ladder). Limited knowledge, resources, and group characteristics contribute to the failure to be at the top level. Meanwhile, the local government, NGO, and community groups achieve a large participation dimension. The central government reaches medium coverage, while the local community has the lowest coverage. Therefore, it is necessary to get support from all stakeholders and put the local community as the main actor using a pragmatic approach. The lack of consideration from the views of older people and community members may add to the complexity of defining financial exploitation, which can result in problems in detection, disclosure, and underreporting of incidences.

“…These classes possess a more reflective nature and provide valuable opportunities for those involved to establish meaningful connections with nature. This, in turn, contributes to the development of personal perspectives and ethical and aesthetic sensitivities that are directed toward the appreciation of the environment (Hoisington;Sableski;Decosta, 2010;Lestinge, 2004;Lucas, 1980;Ades, 2014;Pegoraro, 2003;Seniciato;Cavassan, 2004).…”

This study has a theoretical and, to some extent, essayistic nature, as it embarks on an investigative and reflective journey that deviates from traditional methodological constraints. The goal is to encourage dialogue between the traditional naturalistic field practices and the field-based lessons in biology education. We use the field practices of traveling naturalists from the sixteenth century as a point of reference, aiming to establish an interpretive time horizon for contemporary field classes. By investigating the attributes and progression of field scientific practices, we can assess their impact on biology field courses and how they differ from them based on the specific circumstances. Making connections between science and teaching can help to break away from the daily grind of pedagogical routines and facilitate the necessary reevaluation of biology field lessons.

“…Hands-on activities with animals also have the benefit of reducing fear and disgust toward the animals, which can be helpful for the public image of most invertebrates (e.g., Randler et al, 2012). The public is also very interested in field trips, which are considered by scientists as the best hands-on activity possible and shown to positively shape environmental attitudes (e.g., Neiman and Ades, 2014). On the other extreme, models of animals, which are typically a low priority for scientists, are also the least favorite of the public.…”

Good science communication should give the public the tools to make informed decisions and take action, which can be particularly important for nature conservation. The crisis in invertebrate conservation might be rooted in public prejudices against invertebrate animals, which are perceived as the unpopular 97% of Earth’s animal biodiversity. As such, how we approach science communication regarding those animals might yet play a critical role in their conservation. Given how specialized a topic invertebrate biology is, a large part of its communication fall to scientists. Here, we surveyed both scientists and members of the public about the former’s approaches and assumptions and the latter’s interest and expectations regarding invertebrate science communication, confronting the results of each survey. Our findings show that scientists and the public are only tangentially aligned; there is plenty of ground scientists and communicators need to pay attention to and explore better in order to achieve more meaningful and balanced science communication. Among other findings, topics and approaches that could be used to greater effect include (depending on age groups of the audience) history, folklore, pop culture, and pathology. Our results have unveiled some issues in science communication of invertebrates and are thus a good first approach to start defining the way forward.
